How often does one get to attend a conference on machine learning, run by artists and archivists, most of whom are also children of migrants, that involves publicly discussing what it means to prepare ourselves to be good ancestors?🤩
Digital archivists: do you usually have guidelines around focusing on stuff that is "of note", or otherwise discard certain things due to space or time constraints? Or is there a different way of thinking about in this field? #digitalPreservation#digitalArchiving#archivist
At my first academic conference in, IDK, years? Feels good. Joint meeting of Georgia librarians and archivists (GLA & SGA), which means jumping in with all my weirdoes at once. Presenting soon on a grant project. Also visiting Athens for the first time. Yay?
The law calls them "Pirates", historians will call them "Archivists".

Pirates are now digital archivists. Not joking.
